ALBERT N. BAILEY, OF JOHNSTOVVN, PENNSYLVANIA.

SATURATER-BE LL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No'. 759,587, dated May 10, 1904.

Application filed December '7, 1903. Serial No. 184,095- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, ALBERT N. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Johnstown, in the county of Oambria and State of Pennsylvania, have made a certain new and useful Invention in Saturater-Bells; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a central vertical section of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of my invention in place in the mold.

The invention relates to bells for saturater' boxes, such as are used in connection with coke-ovens in making sulfate of ammonia; and the invention consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, the letter a designates the bell, which may have any general form or contour, the round form being preferred. It consists, essentially, of a top or raised portion .7), a skirt portion 0, and flanges or lugs d, exteriorly arranged at the junction of the top and skirt portions, said flanges or lugs projecting horizontally outward and being designed to support the bell in position in openings of the boxes, through which the skirt of the bell extends downward. The bell is provided with an opening or openings in its top, as indicated at c, for the attachment of lead pipe. bell is cast of lead in a suitable mold, in which is supported a cast-iron filler-topf', which consists of a top portion 9, short skirt portion h, and flanges or lugs 76, all said parts being thinner than the finished bell and so disposed in the mold that the lead. casting will cover in the filler-top and will descend below the short skirt portion forming the deep solid lead extension Z. An opening or openings are This made in the cast-iron top to provide for the opening or openings 0 of the bell. The openings made by the points of support of the filler in the mold are carefully filled in with lead. This bell is thus made without jointing, and its top portion being strengthened by the filler it is very strong and durable, withstanding the efforts of heat and the fumes of sulfuric acid, as well as rough usage.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. A cast lead saturater bell having a strengthening cast-iron filler-top within the upper portion of the bell, and a skirt portion descending below said liller-top, substantially as specified.

2. A cast-lead saturater-bell, havingthe perforated top portion, the descending skirt, the exterior lugs at the junction of said top por tion and skirt, and the cast-iron filler-top, within the top portion and lugs, covered in by the] lead of the casting, substantially as speci fiec 3. A cast-lead saturater-bell, comprising a perforated top portion, descending skirt and exterior lugs at the junction of said top portion, and skirt, and the strengthening castiron filler-top within said top portion, and lugs, and partly descending into the skirt, substantially as specified.

4. A cast-lead saturater-bell consisting of a perforated cast-iron filler-top having a top portion, a short skirt and exterior horizontal lugs at the junction of the top portion and skirt, and around the same, a cast-lead bell covering in the cast-iron filler-top and descending below the short skirt portion thereof, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT N. BAILEY.
